What happened

On Sunday afternoon a fire was reported on the roof of a flat building on the Spatterstraat in Wormer, in solar panels. The published report does not say how the fire started, how far it spread, or whether anyone was hurt.

Lessons learned

A fire on a roof fitted with solar panels can leave live circuits after the building supply is isolated.
Crews attending a block of flats need a clear way to find panel locations and isolation points.
A short early report is not a technical finding: cause and damage should be confirmed before any wider conclusion is drawn.
